The ghar wapsi of former Union minister and Jharkhand chief minister Babu Lal Marandi is being dubbed by the BJP as a big boost for the party especially among tribal populace. The BJP has been constantly getting shrunk in the tribal-dominated areas of Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Gujarat and even in Jharkhand where it had been the sole reason for the drubbing of the party. This is what is true for the BJP but for Marandi joining back the BJP will not only give him his honour back but may even strengthen him.

The leader who had defeated Shibu Soren in 1998 Lok Sabha elections and got him defeated in 1999 emerged very powerful in the state but due to some differences with the top leadership of the party, he was not only sidelined but was forced to quit the party. But people causing him trouble in the BJP are now either sidelined or out of the decision making process. He always wanted to come back to the BJP but with respect. On the other hand tribal leaders like Arjun Munda and Juel Oram proved ineffective so far.

Now his services will be taken in the tribal-dominated areas besides Jharkhand in a big way. He might be given the responsibility of Jharkhand state BJP president. The new BJP president J P Nadda not only has the responsibility of making the organisation more vibrant but also revive party fortunes where it lost its grounds. So the merging the party of the former RSS pracharak will definitely embolden the party among tribals.
